My dilemma this morning - which to deal with first: vomit covered baby or poo covered toddler? The poo covered toddler won.
My first night alone with the 2 boys, and I'm exhausted. Mr J has been a good sleeper so far, only getting up maybe twice a night. Last night he was up hourly. Of course, right! So come 5am and I've had maybe 3hrs of broken crappy sleep. Mr S decides it's time to get up. I bring him back to bed, hoping for maybe half an hour of quiet in the still dark. Mr J however had other plans. Moments later he & i, and my bed are covered in what appears to be litres of milk, spewing from his little mouth & nose. So much for some more quiet time. Strip the bed. Get a load of washing on. Come out of the laundry to find Mr S naked & on the potty. Mr J is on a towel covered in a never ending stream of vomit. So who gets attended to first? No brainer - the toddler with poo hanging off his butt. He goes to the potty and does 2 more poos in the following minutes. This is how poo time works for Mr S. Keep it coming in dribs & drabs until there is absolutely nothing left. It's frustrating.
Everyone is as close to clean as we're going to get at this stage. Migrate to the lounge room in the dark. Feed Mr S his morning porridge. Give him the seconds he asks for. Watch him lather it all over himself like moisturiser. Chuck him in the shower. Feed Mr J. Get Mr S out of the shower. Chase Mr S around trying to dry him as he runs away giggling. Clean up more vomit from Mr J. Try & talk Mr S into putting at least undies on. Find the yellow undies he requests & get them on him. Give Mr J a quick cuddle. Pick up the toys spewing from the toy room so the Foxtel man can get to the point. Pick up Mr S's now discarded yellow undies. Feed Mr J again & deal with a bit more spew. Get the first load of linen out of the washing machine & onto the line. Get second load of washing in the machine.
Get text from Daddy L saying he just got up.
So that was my morning all the way up to 7am. It can only get better, right?! Im hopeful I'll get a nap this afternoon when Mr S naps...
Hope you all had a better night & morning than I've had!
This did make it a little better tho - gosh my kids are adorable!
